Robert Powers

I’m a licensed attorney in Virginia and Washington DC. I primarily serve as outside general counsel to a variety of businesses located throughout the country; counseling these businesses on intellectual property rights (copyright, trade secrets, and trademark), corporate compliance, employment regulations, data privacy, and litigation matters. As to the latter, I’ve served as lead counsel in 100s of litigation matters, including collective actions, with formal appearances before multiple courts throughout the country, including but not limited to, Virginia Circuit Courts, multiple divisions in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (and Western District), the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, DC Superior Court, multiple Courts in New York, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I also routinely serve as lead counsel in multiple litigations concurrently before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Lastly, I on occasion serve as local counsel principally before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, for other firms requiring expertise in navigating the pitfalls of the “Rocket Docket” and its local civil rules. As a business owner myself, I understand the complex implications of a rapidly changing, technology-reliant economy. We continuously push our practice to adapt to such environment to best benefit our clients. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime.
